OESS Restructure Overview

Mike Haas
vironmental Satellite Program Executive Office
Senior Technical Advisor

November 2006
05: the System Program Director announced delay in meeting NPOESS
aratory Program (NPP) launch date

005: NPOESS Tri Agency (DoD, NOAA, NASA) EXCOM directed IRT to look

ug: EXCOM receives results of NPP IRT, and then directed an IPA and OSD
G review of the entire NPOESS program

005: SecAF notified Congress of PAUC threshold breach greater than 15%
ggered Nunn-McCurdy (N-M) breach notification
ov: IPA and OSD CAIG brief EXCOM of PAUC and APUC growth much
ter than 25% (PAUC 820/0, APUC 202%)

005: the acting SPD signed a program deviation report, PAUC and APUC will
er than 25%

005: USecAF sent "reasonable cause letter" to USD(AT&L) of PUAC and

eaches greater than 25%

006: SECAF notified Congress by letter of N-M certification breach 2

 Notification of at least 25% cost breach
- Jun 06: OSD led N-M certification process
n 06: USD (AT&L) certified restructured program
tion Determination
OESS requirements validated by the JROC plus NASA and DOC
Initial system must perform to the same levels as DMSP / POES core sensors
System design flexible-enables spiral development to lORD capability
G cost estimate executable
ion Decision Memorandum's Major Direction
d to CAIG estimate
rd fee approach consistent with new DoD I AF I DOC guidance
ntain EXCOM approved management structure
rterly reviews with senior contractor management
Orbit Program Plan
manifest sensors-continue to fund integration
minate CMIS-compete Micro-wave imager with reduced requirements

RR vs VIIRS: preserves some imagery capability
OP scatterometer and advanced atmospheric sounder enhance
tional weather forecasting capability in mid morning orbit

owave imager/sounder on C1
OP scatterometer for ocean winds and waves becomes primary
ment until new imager/sounder is available on C2

2026+

guration Description
• NPOESS bus sized to carry full sensor configuration
ave Image/Sounder, • Constellation of 2 EMD and 2 Production satellites
S • Terminate CMIS; Compete new Microwave Imager/Sounder starting
ave Imager/Sounder with C2
• NOAA/NASA forecasting models and selected climate continuity
CrIS, ATMS,
preserved
(C1 ),OMPS-Nadir,
• Restructuring of NGST contract required; Renegotiation of NGST fee
• All secondary sensor integration planned and budgeted for
• DoD will lose day/night imagery in mid-AM for up to 8 years Gap
mb, ERBS, Full duration contingent upon satellite performance
• Contractor and government management continuity preserved 14
A is on orbit and working
working with EUMETSAT on reducing data latency
in August to lay groundwork
ow on in late November/early December
TSAT is anxious to reduce latency
eptive to Antarctic site
Evaluating 3 potentials
ng to discuss improving Svalbard capability
scussing a day/night capability for MetOp D
her down the road
add it to their requirements list
ussion at UNCLAS level, using examples from Chris Elvidge and
Lee

ew program has emerged from
ernment mandated restructure
7 program planning is almost complete
8-2013 planning to be completed by
